Looking for a teaching mentor: Patrick's career change at 30
Patrick, a retail manager, is retraining for teaching and is looking for a mentor for monthly calls over three months.

I have worked as a retail manager for 17 years, and I'm 30. After a health scare, I decided to move into teaching, and I have completed a self-study course with a project portfolio.
What I'm missing is someone who has walked this path: feedback on my capstone project, a realistic view of the job market in Wales, and a sounding board when things feel overwhelming.
I'm hoping for one 45-minute video call a month for three months, plus the occasional email question. I'll bring specific questions and I won't waste your time.
All I can offer back is my thanks, and I'll mentor someone else once I'm settled.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Adelaide.
hang in there. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
praying for you, Patrick. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
wishing you peace, Patrick. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Swansea.
Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Ikeja donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Ikeja.
So sorry you're going through this, Patrick. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
